One of my biggest issues with drivers is when pulling off a stop light, and two drivers side by side both go under the speed limit, blocking anyone from passing, aka a "driving stalemate" and that generally causes anger for me.

The other one is where people don't pull out into the middle of the intersection when making a left turn through traffic. No, instead they have to sit right on the line, waiting for a gap, and then pulling forward. I really hate that

Oh, and when people put like a million bumper stickers on their car. Looks so terrible, and all I can ask is why? Why would someone in their right mind do that?

People these days

I have seen more of their blindness, senile and stupidity as well.
So your saying only elderly people are bad drivers? What about all the people who caused accidents (deaths) from texting. My best friend died two years ago because an idiot was texting! And my grandpa just died so you CANT say everything is elderlies peoples fault. Half the blame is on you. How about instead of looking for old people driving "bad" take tmrw and look at all the younger drivers and come back here and tell me their perfect....


Yeah thats what I thought.

Pretty sure everyone is entitled to their own opinions.......

And an elderly person who should not have been driving struck and killed my Grandmother a year ago while she was sitting on a bench. As a stereotype, I definitely agree that elderly people are worse drivers

Oh another thing that pisses me off is when someone pulls out in front of you and makes you slam on your brakes when the road is completely clear behind you

They're driving safely and legally. If you pull into the middle of an intersection and you don't get a chance to turn before the light turns red, then what do you do? You can't back up because there's somebody parked in the turn lane behind you. You can sit there and block the intersection,\ or you can go ahead and turn and run a red light. Either way you're unsafe and liable to get fined.
